And because of that, you count your opinion as being more logical, more reasoned, and well...better... And that's perfectly reasonable, if you didn't, why would you be an atheist? But that makes you no different than most theists when it comes down to using the respective filters through which you view the world.
The idea that atheism is a default position is no more a fact than a theist considering theism a default position...its an opinion. Its not scientific. There is no proof, because you can't prove a negative. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Atheism is still a belief...
The default position on god isn't that it exists, or that it doesn't exist, but rather that it doesn't matter...its not a scientific idea either way.
